Lexicons

A flexible device on which a door turns. Proverbs 26:14 compares a lazy person turning in bed to a door turning on its hinges. The meaning of the term translated hinges at 1 Kings 7:50 (KJV, NAS, TEV) is disputed. NIV, NRSV prefer the translation sockets on the grounds that ancient doors swung on doorpins set in sockets rather than on jointed hinges. REB translates, panels.
